Pass 3 compliance validation and quality gates
Final validation checks coverage, evidence mapping, and operational practicality.
This maps to the review gate and scorecard
On the generation progress page this is the Run review gate and Save draft bundle stages. The output includes the reviewer memo and, when standards are mapped, the standards scorecard shown on the policy detail page.
Summary
- Final validation checks coverage, evidence mapping, and operational practicality.
- Use this guide to complete the workflow with audit-ready evidence and ownership.
- If you hit a blocker, run troubleshooting first, then escalate with context.
Steps
1. Let the review gate run
Run review gate checks coverage, evidence mapping, and operational practicality against the mapped standards for this policy.
2. Read the reviewer memo
Once Save draft bundle completes, open the policy detail page to see the reviewer memo, including a standards scorecard entry for each mapped standard.
3. Use scorecard verdicts and gap guidance to close gaps
Each scorecard entry shows a score against a pass mark and a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict. Expand How to improve on a WARN or FAIL entry for specific gap guidance before you publish.
Verification
- The policy detail page shows a standards scorecard entry for every standard mapped to this policy.
- Any WARN or FAIL entries have visible gap guidance rather than an empty list.
- A PASS verdict corresponds to the score meeting or exceeding the pass mark shown.
Troubleshooting
No standards scorecard appears on the policy.
The scorecard only renders when the reviewer memo includes standardsScorecard entries, which requires standards to be mapped to this policy category. Confirm the relevant standards are adopted in /dashboard/compliance.
A standard shows FAIL and I do not know what to fix.
Open How to improve under that scorecard entry. Gap guidance lines are specific to the missing or weak coverage driving that verdict.
